Brothers in Arms Memorial
Highlight • Monument
A tragedy beautifully depicted in a work of art.
The madness of warfare is depicted here and leaves no one untouched.
We Will Remember Them
Don't forget to say hello in the nearby "Cafe Taverne de Dreve". This is a nice place with a nod to the past...
A nice place where you can simply eat and drink at democratic prices. The pasta dishes are highly recommended. There is a large playground for children on the outdoor terrace. The interior contains many references to the deployment of the ANZAC in the Ypres Salient.
A treasure trove of valuable pieces are exhibited here on the attic floor. A hidden gem...
The owner Johan is a man with a life goal. We have great admiration for all the work he has already accomplished, including Brothers-In-Arms Memorial Park
Hats off Johan, you are helping to ensure that the Great War will never be forgotten.
Many generations later will be grateful to you for this...

Hill 62 Canadian Memorial
Highlight • Monument
On June 6, all German guns seem to be concentrating on Hooge. Moments later, four mines go off near the hamlet. Ypres is about to fall.
The Canadian 1st Mounted Rifles is currently located at Hill 62, a site of great strategic importance. On June 2, they had seen the positions to their right go up in the air. The Mounted Rifles can barely keep Hill 62 in the days after. They have been under fire for four days when Edward Currie is killed. He is reported missing on June 6. Only his identification disc is recovered. The location on what is today the Hill 62 memorial site is noted as his place of death.
Nearby, 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐰 will be buried on June 27. The 18-year-old Londoner is killed after the battle, when a mortar shell explodes in the positions. He is buried in the trenches in what is now the far end of the memorial park.

In Flanders Fields Museum in the Cloth Hall (Lakenhalle)
Highlight • Historical Site
Depending on your interests, you can expect to spend several hours visiting the museum.
Brief history of the building: The Cloth Hall (Grand Place) is one of the largest civil buildings in the Gothic style in Europe.
The original Cloth Hall was built between 1200 and 1304.
The belfry is 70 m high and was built between 1200 and 1230 as a symbol of the power of the citizenry. From the late 12th century until 1817, real live cats were thrown out of the belfry. These have been stuffed cats since 1955.
The Cloth Halls used to serve as a trading place for fabrics. The cloth was sold in every door at the bottom of the belfry. Ypres was very famous in the Middle Ages for the good quality of its fabrics.
The building was completely destroyed in World War I and later rebuilt. The restored Cloth Hall was completed in 1967. The architects decided to reconstruct the pre-war situation as faithfully as possible. The original stones can still be seen at the foot of the Cloth Hall; these are the largest. The higher up you go, the smaller the stones become.

Menin Gate Memorial
Highlight • Monument
Today you are standing in front of one of the greatest and most moving memorials of the First World War in the form of a Roman triumphal arch. During the inauguration ceremony in July 1927, the Somerset Light Infantry horns played the tattoo for the first time, and since 1928 it has been played every evening at 8 p.m., regardless of the crowd or the weather.
The vast white Portland stone walls of the Menin Gate contain inscriptions with the names of nearly 55,000 British and Commonwealth soldiers who fell on the battlefield and have no burial place; son, father, brother. Indeed, the walls of the Menin Gate were not large enough: 34,957 other names of the last lost are written on the walls of Tyne Cot Cemetery east of Ypres.
